THE PLATFORM.

The following platform was adopted.
The associated delegates of the RepUb-
lican clubs of the United States, now as
sembIed for the first time in National
convention, deem it fl occasion for de-
claring to their countrymen the purposes
Of their organization. We hold it our
duty, specially to the young men of the
country whose patriotic sentiments we
would arouse into political activity to
give them reasons which will justify and
demand their jealous concurrence and
active cooperation in our efforts. From
the earliest organization of the Republi-
can party it has appealed to the noblest ans
highest impulses of human nature; it had
devoted itself to the education OF the
masses of the people, holding that an in
telligent knowledge of the political In
stitutions is needful to the exercise Of the
duties of citizenship. The Republican
party coming into power without expert
ence in government developed capacity
which brought that war to successful
conclusion, and at its close found them
selves so strong as to demand Of the most
warlike nation of Europe the withdrawal
of its armies from the American CONT
nent, and the demand was respected
and
THE MONROE DoCTRINE
was fearlessly enforced. They found
government in 1861 with a debt and emp

livered it to the Democratic party in 1885,
with credit undoubted, a treasury over
charged with riches and With streams of
over-fowing supply, which even the party
has found itself hitherto incompetent to
stop. Under the magic hand of Republi-
can intelligence the very burdens Of taxa
ton, imposed by patriotism, were con-
verted into productive service OF new ma
tHral wealth. They have from the begin
ning denounced reputation of public

Cannot Get a Pension.

WASHINGTON, July 29.-The Secretary
of the Interior to-day denied the claim
of William Hedgepeth, e1-priyate
Forty-second Indiana, for a pension.
Hedgepeth was captured in 1868, and
sent to Andersonville. After five
months, he entered in the Confedera e
army for the sole purpose, as he told
some fellow prisoners, of deserving at
the first chance and getting back to the
old command. This he did and served
in his old regiment till discharged.
Some years ago he applied for a
pension on the ground of dis
ability incurred in the Federal serVlc e.
The law provides that no one who
aided, directly or indirectly, the enc
mics of the government shall have a
pension. Hedgepeth's brief connection
with the Confederacy rendered him
amenable to the law. The case has
been pending long time, and many
opinions have been written upon 1t. 1t
reached the Secretary to-day. The
papers in the case include strong pro-
test against the payment OF pension
from Commissioner Black.
